Calabria At a Glance

Region Name Calabria

Calabria is a non-industrial rural mountainous region. Its economy is dependent on cereals, citrus, and particularly olives, with a per-capita income less than half the national average. Called Enotria by the Greeks in pre-Roma times for its illustrious vinous past, today viticulture and winemaking are far from the vital industries they once were and account for a tiny proportion of land use.

  • Score: 90 Vintage 2022 Wine Enthusiast The sweet nose is accented with notes of ripe pear, peach candy, lemonade iced tea and citrus blossoms. The combination of pear, peach and citrus remains on the palate, which is lively with acidity and finishes with a salted lemon slice. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Greco is pretty and airy in the glass. Young peach and sweet spring florals form its bouquet. This opens with a burst of confectionary spice and candied citrus, slowly mellowing into ripe nectarine and mint. It tapers off with a tropical flourish, leaving kiwi and lime sorbet nuances to fade slowly. The balance here is beautiful. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast Delicate flowers and fruit float off the nose of this Greco, from almond flowers to ripe pears to Meyer lemons. The palate highlights lemon-lime citrus and more pears, but then more savory notes emerge, from wet slate to nutty, tahini elements, all punched up with a through line of sharp acid.

  • Score: 88 Vintage 2020 Wine Spectator A fresh and floral white, layering notes of ripe green melon and pear fruit, pickled ginger, Thai basil and peach blossom on the light-bodied frame. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.  Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 86 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Greco is pretty with nuances of sweet white flowers, crushed stone and lemon confit. This is a soft and pleasantly ripe effort that balances sweet melon with salty mineral tones. Exotic florals and a hint of mint linger as it tapers off with medium length.
